Insect collection chamber round shaped
An entoWIZ insect olfactometer is an essential apparatus used in entomological research to study insect behavior, particularly their responses to odorous stimuli. This measure of response is either positive as an attractant or negative as a repellent. Central to this tool is the insect collection chamber (ICC), which is integral to capturing and documenting the insects' olfactory reactions. This is the place where the collected insects are housed.
The insect collection chamber (ICC) is positioned at the endpoint of the olfactometer's arms, serving as the destination for the insects as they navigate through the device in response to the presented odors. Typically, the chamber is designed to be easily observable to allow researchers to note the preferences or aversions of the insects, depending on the olfactory stimuli observed.
Constructed from glass materials, this chamber permits clear visibility for observing, counting, and documenting insects. Its size and design can vary depending on the target insect species, ensuring that it's neither too large that it becomes ineffective in observing the insects nor too small to induce stress in the insects. This particular ICC is of 500ml volume capacity.
